Well, ladies and gentlemen, I give you my review for the first season of Mahoromatic.
Mahoro is not an ordinary girl; she is an android built by the secret agency, Vesper. Vesper is at war against aliens called Saints, and Mahoro is their best warrior. However, she has little time in her life left, and she's free to do whatever she wants with the time she has left. Mahoro decides to become a maid for a young boy named Suguru Misato, who has been living alone since his parents died.
So you see, Mahoromatic is a romantic comedy. A very hilarious romantic comedy. The story wasn't much, to be honest, but there was always something to either laugh or smile about. I'm starting to become a fan of Bow Ditama, the person who illustrated the original manga, so of course I like the art! It was animated by both Gainax and Shaft, and those two studios sure did a good job giving each character life! Speaking of characters, Mahoromatic has so many wonderful characters that I can't help it! Mahoro is the best of them all, though. She's awesome!
The OP is sung by Mahoro's seiyuu, Ayako Kawasumi, although I don't know if that matters, taking the fact that I watched the anime in English into consideration. The song, Kaerimichi, is a pretty cute song! The ED, Mahoro de Mambo (sung by the seiyuus of the Triomatic, who are Miyuki Sakura, Rin Todoriki, and Chizuko Oe), can probably get annoying if you listen to it too much, but it's pretty good if you're not easily annoyed by anime or anime songs! Oh, and as I mentioned earlier, I had watched the English dub for Mahoromatic. That didn't stop the voices from being good, as well!
Overall, Mahoromatic was a pretty good anime. With its awesome characters, great art, nice music, and hilarious comedy, it makes up for the not-too-special story it has. I recommend it to anyone who likes romantic comedies that involve robot maids! I also look forward to whenever I get around to watching the second season!
